Exporting to SVG results in empty file

I have two icons (shapes) in PSD file. When saving as SVG, one of them is saved correctly, but other results in empty SVG file. There seems to be no major differences in both icons, they have same shape, only different colors. Second icon is in initially hidden layer.

Exporting to PNG works correctly for both icons.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having this problem. I'm not aware of any known issues similar to this. If you can share your file (Share>Send lInk) and either PM the link to me or post it here I can take a look.

Seems to be an issue with hidden layers. If layer is in hidden group - exported SVG will be empty.

Indeed; I was able to reproduce the issue here with the test file you provided privately; thank you. SVG export has its own code path that declines to output anything because it thinks the layer is not visible. I've filed a bug report internally. Unfortunately I don't have an exact ETA for a fix, nor a good workaround for you, at this time.
